Celebrate the 21st anniversary of the classic documentary about 11-year-old New York City public school kids, including students from P.S. 115 in Washington Heights, journeying into the world of ballroom dancing and revealing pieces of themselves and their world along the way. Told from their candid, sometimes hilarious perspectives, these kids are transformed, from reluctant participants to determined competitors, from typical urban kids to “ladies and gentlemen,” on their way to try to compete in the final citywide competition. The documentary provides unique insight into that moment when becoming that “cool” teenager vies for position with familiar innocence, all while learning how to merengue, rumba, tango, foxtrot, and swing.
After the movie the “stars” of the documentary – including Alejandro (aka Wilson), Yomaira Reynoso, and others – director Marilyn Agrelo, and other filmmakers will be interviewed by Dancing Classrooms Executive Director Eve Wolff.
